[QUOTE="ShelbyGuy, post: 3919996, member: 10042"] with cap on the overflow tank, fill the crossover tube. cap crossover tube. with cap on the crossover tube, fill the overflow tank to the seam where the black plastic begins. there needs to be some air in the overflow tank as the system needs a way to build pressure in order to raise the boiling point of the antifreeze. run car until thermostat opens. shut car off and let it cool. (NEVER OPEN A HOT COOLING SYSTEM - releasing the pressure on it will lower the boiling point. steam scalds.) with the cap on the overflow tank, check the burp plug. if the tube has liquid in it, its fine. cap it and leave it alone until next time you open the cooling system. if you have both the overflow tank uncapped and the cap off the crossover tube, since the overflow tank is lower than the crossover tube it will drain into the overflow tank. if the cap is on the crossover tube, it wont be able to suck air in. only have one cap open at a time.
